How Did Australia Changed
Australia
Australia has changed a lot in the last 250 years. Before 1788 there were around 250 languages spoken in Australia and a population of 750 000.
Many of the 250 languages were spoken by the indigenous people in Australia but many of the languages died out as the indigenous people were murdered and became fewer and fewer.
When the English people came to Australia with the first fleet which consisted of 11 ships in 1788 the indigenous people were killed and suppressed by the English people.
The English people used the Aboriginal as slaves to build up their empire and conquer Australia.
When the Englishmen came to Australia they weren’t welcomed with houses and farms, they had to build up a whole continent and make it modern. Unfortunately for the English people they weren’t prepared for what they came to, it was a whole new climate. New animals, new plants, new weather, new everything. They didn’t know what they could eat and which animal was friendly, so many of them died because of all the ignorance. …show more content…
There were around 2350 people that came to Australia with the first fleet.
This was a big problem because they wanted to become strong and powerful so they reproduce as much as they could, but they felt as if they needed to make Australia christian to feel powerful, that why they took the Aboriginal children and raised them to christians.
But that wasn’t the only problem that the English people got, if you live in two separate places of earth, you will probably have different diseases and parasites so when the first fleet arrived many of the people aboard got sick from the indigenous people and the other way around A good example is smallpox that was the principal cause of Aboriginal deaths, it killed 90% of the Darug people that was an indigenous tribe. Some people think that the Englishmen released the virus as a defense when they ran out of ammo to their weapons but didn’t think they would get
infected.
Everyone had to fight for their survival,but especially the indigenous peoples.
Before Australia got colonised, they were around 500 000 people living free and just from the land, but then in the early 20th century there were only around
95 000 indigenous people left and at it’s bottom 1933 there were only 74 000 left.
Until finally the indigenous people got treated as humans, not animals 1954, the numbers raised and the last count from 2010 said there are now 563 000 indigenous people in Australia which is around the number before they got colonised.
Today the Aboriginals still have the culture but most of them live like ordinary australians, the english language has taken over but they still speak their language at special occasions. There are some differences in the way you speak if you come from different places in Australia, the dialect change drastically at some places and less drastically at some places. Even tho only 20 Aboriginal language are used in social life and so on the language still lives on, but in the end the english language will probably concur the Aboriginal languages.
